Today on @FaceTheNation, @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger pushed back on some of Donald Trump’s election lies.

But Raffensperger also said disingenuous & misleading things.

Let’s set the record straight. ⬇️ When asked about the intent of the Trump-endorsed Georgia Election Board, which changed election rules that a court blocked because they're unconstitutional, Raffensperger attacked @ReverendWarnock & @StaceyAbrams instead of calling out election deniers behind the illegal rules.

🚨📺NEW AD: The pro-Trump Georgia State Election Board is changing election rules to help Trump in 2024.

Their actions are illegal & Governor Brian Kemp can shut it down.

Go to and demand he take action now! CallKemp.com
As seen in @NYTimes, our new ad will begin airing tomorrow across Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC in the Atlanta area, exposing how the Georgia Election Board has passed new election rules which could help Trump sow chaos in November. nytimes.com/2024/09/05/us/…

Georgians, we’re at a critical juncture for American democracy.

The Georgia State Election Board is proposing last-minute changes to election rules that could threaten our democracy & be used to undermine the results of Georgia’s 2024 election.

It's time to speak up! 📢⬇️ These proposed changes (the Heekin proposal is just one being considered) are being advanced with the support of GOP operatives.

They could delay or obstruct the certification of Georgia’s election results.

We can't stand by – we have to take action & make our voices heard.

Ohio Senator JD Vance represents the evolution of MAGA. He's the perfect pick for Trump for 2 key reasons:

1️⃣ JD is all in on MAGA's anti-voter efforts & false 2020 election conspiracy theories

2️⃣ As Trump's VP, JD could make Project 2025 reality

THREAD ⬇️ JD Vance pushes false conspiracy theories about immigrants illegally voting.

This Trump and MAGA conspiracy is seeing a resurgence nationally — in Georgia, we heard it at last week's State Election Board meeting from an "election integrity" activist.

NEW: Yesterday, the MAGA-dictated anti-voting SB 189 became law in Georgia.

Building on the 2021 voter suppression law (passed because President Biden won in 2020), SB 189 was likely designed to support Trump's campaign by making it harder for Georgians to vote.

THREAD⬇️ SB 189 makes it easier for MAGA-conspiracy supporting vigilantes to challenge Georgians’ freedom to vote & potentially purge them from the voter rolls.

It makes it harder for unhoused Georgians to vote, allows hand-marked ballots & removes ballot QR codes.

🚨 ALERT: Senate Republicans introduced shocking anti-voting #SB221, legislating intimidation, conspiracy & election subversion:
-makes mass voter challenges easier
-requires dangerous surveillance of voters
-targets election workers w/new felonies & misdemeanors
& more. Thread: #SB221 is conspiracy as policy. Last year, GA conspiracy theorists challenged 92K voters. SB221 would lower the amount of proof required of challengers, force counties to consider challenges based on unreliable data, and undermine the NVRA. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

🚨GEORGIA: Republicans are pushing forward with their latest anti-voting attacks and JUST PASSED their omnibus anti-voting bill through the House. #HB1464 would devastate local election administration and undermine our democracy: THREAD ⬇️ #gapol Voters turned out in record numbers in 2020. In response, GA Republicans passed one of the worst anti-voter bills in the country. Now they're doubling down—trying to sabotage elections and ban donations to counties, even donations of food & water. #gapol

🚨GEORGIA:🚨Right now, Republicans are doubling down on their anti-voter attacks and attempting to rush ANOTHER omnibus anti-voting bill through the state legislature. #HB1464 would devastate local election administration and undermine our democracy: THREAD ⬇️ #gapol Even after Kemp and his GOP allies promised no new election bills this year, Georgia Republicans are now trying to force through a substitute bill they did not release until mere HOURS before its first hearing - and, like SB 202, it's STILL not available online. (2/15) #gapol

THREAD 👀👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿 #gapol 2: Cobb, Gwinnett, Athens-Clarke and Augusta-Richmond Rs have ignored House Rules that govern the local legislation process, leading the AJC to warn about this “power grab” that “could significantly shift the power of elected officials.” ajc.com/politics/power…

According to a new data analysis by @MotherJones, GA saw skyrocketing numbers of mail ballot application rejections—disenfranchising many GA voters—after the implementation of SB 202, the anti-voter omnibus bill pushed through the GA Assembly by Republican lawmakers in 2021. 1/6

https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1487072338319482887

Over half of mail ballot application rejections were due to GA’s new deadline requiring they be placed no later than 11 days before the election rather than up until the Friday before Election Day. 2/6

Despite a problematic op-ed recently published in the NYT, election subversion and #JimCrow era voter suppression wielded today are inextricably and problematically linked. We need the #FreedomToVoteAct and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to mitigate this harm. 🧵 Election subversion and voter suppression were used together during the #JimCrow era of the 1870s-1950s to prevent Black voters from utilizing their full electoral power in the South: (2/9)

The #FreedomToVoteAct takes the necessary steps to protect our democracy and strengthen national standards for voting access for every eligible American regardless of zip code. So what’s in the bill? (🧵): Blunting Jim Crow-era tactics by restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated people, preventing states from purging based on vote history, and prohibiting witness/notary requirements for vote by mail (2/8).

Statement from Fair Fight Action Founder @staceyabrams:

“I commend Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Associate AG Vanita Gupta and Assistant AG Kristen Clarke for taking bold action to combat restrictions on Georgians’ freedom to vote. 1/5 Senate Bill 202 in Georgia and similar anti-voter bills being passed around the country undermine our democracy and restrict access in ways that target voters of color. 2/5

🚨 OHIO: 🚨 The omnibus voting bill HB 294 will be heard in committee TOMORROW. Let’s be clear: this bill is yet another attack on our fundamental freedom to vote. Republicans are bringing the same attacks to Ohio that we’ve already seen in Georgia and Florida. (1/4) A democracy that works for us must include all of us. HB 294 makes voting LESS accessible. Like other anti-voter bills across the US, HB 294 restricts mail voting and drop box locations and availability, creates new ID requirements, and eliminates a day of early voting. (2/4)

The secret Heritage video exposed by @ariberman makes abundantly clear what we’ve known all along: despite what Brian Kemp, Barry Fleming, and GOP officials across the country have said, #SB202 and other anti-voting bills are part of a nationwide GOP-led attack on voting rights. This attack has been engineered by the far-right Heritage Foundation to disenfranchise voters of color in response to the Big Lie surrounding the 2020 election.

As Republicans try to defend #SB202, county officials are decrying how the voter suppression bill will reduce voting access and increase cost to taxpayers. The latest criticism comes from Gwinnett, where drop boxes will be reduced from 23 to 6. #gapol gwinnettdailypost.com/local/gwinnett… Gwinnett County is Georgia’s second-largest county and one of the most diverse in the state. The provisions in this bill disproportionately burden voters of color, who heavily relied on access to absentee voting and ballot drop boxes to cast their votes in 2020 and 2021.

#gapol #SB202 1/13 HYPERCRIMINALIZATION: Georgia's new law codifies mass disenfranchisement and further expands criminalization policy in the voting process. 2/13

THREAD: New polling shows that Georgia Republicans’ voter suppression bill #SB202 just passed in the House isn’t just an anti-democratic power grab -- its key provisions are also overwhelmingly opposed by Georgians. ⬇️ 1/ #gapol drive.google.com/file/d/1ZY8qb_… Nearly 8-in-10 Georgians -- including more than 6-in-10 Republicans -- oppose #SB202 plan to criminalize the handing out of food and water to people standing in line waiting to vote. 2/ #gapol

JUST NOW: GOP state legislators voted #SB202 out of committee. SB 202 would restrict voters' freedoms and access, as well as giving GOP legislators the unprecedented power to remove and replace entire local boards of elections and take control of the State Election Board. #gapol Endorsed by @SpeakerRalston, #SB202 would ban Souls to the Polls and weekend voting in runoff elections. In the recent US Senate runoffs, not only were Black voters disproportionately likely to vote on weekends, on 3 out of 4 days, Black voters OUTPERFORMED white voters. #gapol
